Meet the Facilitators

Our programs are led by active practitioners with extensive real-world experience. Facilitators, speakers, and coaches are carefully selected for both their professional expertise and their ability to engage adult learners. You’ll learn from Queen’s faculty, top labour lawyers, seasoned consultants, union leaders, senior executives, and industry experts who bring current, practical insights from the front lines of HR, labour relations, and organization development.

Drawing from both union and management perspectives, and representing diverse sectors across Canada and internationally, our facilitators ensure you gain well-rounded, relevant knowledge. We also bring in local experts and guest speakers to add regional context and practical insights tailored to each program.

Interested in becoming a Facilitator?

If you’re looking for a rewarding way to pass on your knowledge, and an opportunity to stay current with new trends, become a Queen’s IRC Facilitator.
